Please be careful while using the jack that came with your Lancer. Mine broke while I was using it. I wasn't hurt, and I am glad that I had not started to take the rear wheel off yet. My car is sitting almost a foot crooked from where it started. I have always used a piece of a 2X8 under it so I wouldn't have to raise the jack up to high so it would be more stable.

Picture time.









The other lesson learned is I will never use the factory jack to place my car on jack stands. Looks like I am going to be buying a new jack. Again, please be careful, I was lucky this time. I will not try it again.

 

dude... write mitsubishi about that one.. you might get something out of it. you are lucky to be ok. that thing could have even flipped out from under the car and busted your leg.

 

mitsubishi suck..always.

 

Damm man...def write to mitsu...

 

how often did you use it?

 

Not often. I normally use this bigger jack that is my Jeep when I work on my car, but my wife has the jeep tonight. Although I have used about 4 times in the past week while doing some minor things.

 

Complain!!! You could of lost a limb, good thing your alright! Call them dont even write anything, just ask for the manager lol

 

way to go mitsu......how about best backed jacks in the world?

 

Everyone is right about contacting the M


That could be a safety issue that potentially affects other Evo owners and any other models that might use that jack

glad you were clear of it.

 

 

haha damn that sucks! i say u go raise hell at stealership!

 

damm! mine's got bent yesterday. OMG is this a real steel jack for lifting car?

 

Damn Mitsubishi..... "JACK" asses... no pun intended ..lol

 

wow that's scary. Imagine what could happen if you get a flat on some backroad and that happens and get hurt. No help for a looooong time

That is a lawsuit would not enjoy. Give us an update once you get in touch with some execs. Glad u're alright man.

 

Call Mitsubishi and give them ****! What if you were in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire and that happened? What if it fell on top of you? This is a safety hazard and I hope you do complain to Mitsubishi so they can get this fixed. You got lucky and it didn't fall on you.. PLEASE call or write to them so this doesn't happen to anyone else. If Mitsubishi doesn't do anything then call your local news people... they will hype up the story for you.
